Quick Saturday Catch-Up

It's been so long since I updated! I'm sorry. A lot has been going on. I'll start with yesterday and work my way back to last weekend...........

The Jogathon. Yesterday was the Jogathon at LCC. Look at those kids running! Sarah is in the pink t-shirt. I got a lot of fun photos. I usually volunteer, but this time I wandered around with my camera. Sarah enjoyed the event so much this year. She ran quite a bit of it, which was exciting to see. When she walked, she walked with her friend Karli. She had a big smile the whole time. Yay!

Sarah's birthday was Thursday. She is now 11. Her she is jumping for joy - WooHoo!! Cousins Ashlee, Brad, Hayden, Aunt Shawna, and Grandma came by and we did bubbles, played on the playground. Good day.

Check out this bubble. It's a good one.

The teenagers had prom last weekend. They had a wonderful time and spent a whole lot of money. Prom is complicated these days. There's so much they have to buy. I remember when I went, I borrowed a dress, we borrowed a car. The kids were so stressed out.

Bay wore a cute short dress and tall heels. She was almost as tall as Greg with her updo and her heels and he's 6 ft. Very glamorous. Greg seemed very comfortable in his tux. I like he liked the fanciness of it all. I drove him over to meet the other couples at his friend Deborah's house. I got this shot as they were walking out into the backyard for pictures.

The sun was so bright and they were squinting in every shot. I wish I had not been so shy in front of all the other parents, that I had pulled them off to the side, because with the expense of all the extras, they didn't end up with enough to buy pictures at the event.

Don't you think that they look pretty? Bay's hair looked just as great the next morning. It was set up with about 55 bobby pins. It was lovely.

Okay, that's it for now. I've got something very exciting to write about later in the week. My boyfriend is coming for a visit. I cannot tell you how excited I am. I'm afraid that I'm going to drive that boy crazy with my camera. Watch out, honey!

Two Days With the Boys

I just was able to spend most of the past two days with my favorite guy and his sweet boy. We had a great visit. With his new job, he's able to get two days off in a row, but he's got a 6 hour drive down, then a 6 hour drive back home, so the time we spend together went pretty quickly.

I came to this wondeful realization though this weekend. I wrote about it in my Dating Dames.com column. It's basically this - after one year (today is our anniversary) I am finally feeling "just fine" right where we are at. I'm not in a big hurry to have more, these visits, they are all I can handle with things the way they are at my house right now. Someday things will change and that will be fine, but right now, I'm good. I miss my guy, but these kids have me pretty busy right now.

Sarah and Owen had fun today. She's pretty good with little guys. We got out the bubbles and the kids loved them, but not as much as Steve did. I'll share a photo of him bubbling later.
I turned on the sprinkler for him and he wanted the water to go stronger, so he grabbed the hose and shook it. Hard, really hard. That kid is really strong.
S was playing with his new phone. It's got some pretty cool features. I think he was golfing on it here.
I tried to fit us both in the shot.
Those boys should be just about home by now. I hope their drive went well. Owen got about 4 hours-nap worth of play in before they left. That kid, he's adorable.
